A. S, C, Haverhill.—Wo do not know why your letters arc unanswered. C. L. It.. Olesn.—■ We can not undertake to reply to questions concerning the reliability of anyone. M. V. C, Gnlc8.—Wo do not know of nny theatre In Grenter Now York owned by any- one of tho unities you mention. CARDS. W. 11. II.. Rochester.—A wins well within bis rights by refusing the card, as ho had not looked at It Ills bond was not foul. A. A.—When a player "splits" openers he Is obliged to make a declaration to that ef- fect and lay tho card aBldo where it will not be mixed with tho rest of tho discard, so ho can show It after the hand Is played. Fail- ure to do this causes him to lose any money he may have put In the pot, either In tho ante or In bets, and tho pot goes to tho hlgb- jfjj band who remained against him. CARNIVAL CONVERSATION By WnTJAM JUJJKJLNH HEWITT, ("Bed Onion.") Tan present carnival season, viewed from the cupola of the "little red caboose be- hind," looks very Bplzzcr-inktum. Manaoers. —Kindly send your route In direct to Tim New York Clippbb, 47 W, Twenty-eighth Street, New York. Your at- tention to this will be appreciated. When you change your route pleaBe notify in time to make the necessary corrections. Harry Blitz, the original Haba Haba man of bally-hoo fame, who for the past several seasons has been with the Johnny J. Hejnno attractions, plans to open a Zulu Village at Coney Island, New York. Harry should make good with that kind of a show, iIaiiuy t. La iiiiAQiin has cloned with the Al. F. Gorman Greater Shows, and left Fort Worth, Tex., Thursday, March 12, for New Orleans, and Meridian Miss. At the latter i/acc he attended tho opening of the Greater Hhcosley Shows. Dr. Kbank 'Ellis and Floyd Elliot; (Cowboy) havo closed contracts with Her- bert A. Kline for the appearance of Don Fulano, the educated horse, with his car- nival aa a tented attraction for this season. Some men plan to put out carnivals that never materialize. Just so that they will Lave an opportunity of seeing their name In print. milt 8. Rodney, owner of the famous electrical tamdon team, was a very busy man during tho fort Worth, Tex.. Cattlemen's Convention. MUt S. says nothing but tho big dntes for him. Nat iiKiss has such a fine local standing In Houston, Tex., that It would not be at all surprising that the Johnny J. Jones Car- nival played the No-Tsu-Oh celebration la that city In November. Nut, tell us about It. t'HAiiLEH McDonald —What nre you going to do with that ten acre farm near St Lou in, slnco the famous Mozelle Carnival 1b not? No more shoveling snow or leading ponies for Leo CUrlcy. What will the poor boy do for a Job now 7 W. II. Rice has got to be given credit for knowing lust whnt's going on In the car- nival business. W. If. Is the first genera! agent that wo know of to book a carnival under the auspices of the "Rotary Club" Tbla he did for tho Rice & Doro Water Car- nival In .Seattle. Therb Is one class of people that always come back—"waiters in Fort Worth caba- rets." Walters con take tips without be- coming offended. That's more than some carnival people can do. Will 0. Jones— The cue chalkers of Dal- las, Tex. (at least that's what some one told Red Onion) miss you. Will G., sbame on you for icnvlng without telling them good- bye. You are due In Tcxarkana, Tex.. March 80. 1M Warren left Corslcana, Tex., re- cently, dor Leavenworth, Kan. llert, as we havo been Informed, will manage a I'arker carry-us-all and a big Ell Ferris wheel with the Ed, Evans Greater Shows. Maiiul Wiiittakbr. the swimming and diving girl, says she thinks she will have to "splash around" this season, but she don't say with whom. When the warm days cotno the rail of the tank Is altogetber too strong for the professional swimmer and diver to resist. Manuel, the Hrazlllan artist, Is very busy recently pointing and decorating the fronts of tba Al. F. Gorman Greater Shows. Manuel was seen In Fort Worth during the cattlemen's convention, where tho Gorman Grenter played. General Auhnt.h — some of thorn — are guilty of a practice which Is not altogether right. Thai Is, showing photographs of outer companies' fronts and attractions and claiming them as tholr own, or representing companies that they claim to have them, Marcullus W. Mheks Is reported to be in the nows business In Now Orleans. Prank Kaufman Is now In India buying up animals to sell and trade, which he finds to bo a profitable business. Frank, write us a story about what's doing In that part of the world. He was formerly owner and manager of the California Carnival. Utta Louise Blake and Jambs U. Had.- \t.y left Dallas, Tex., recently, on a vaude- ville tour, which will eventually take them to Kansas City, at which place they are about due now. Geo, wonder if we will ever (Ind out with what carnival they will go? Harrt Sanueu Is still general agent for tho J. George Loos Exposition Company, and mnklng good. -Harry was lu Texarkana"re- cently. Therb Is certainly a great difference In motordromes. Some are large, some are small, some ure painted and some are not, some aro well built and somo are not, some of them ore well managed and some of them ten themselves. So, dear readers, when you hear the name of "motordrome" mentioned don't think that they are all alike. Leon W. Washdurn Is getting a groat carnival together, If anybody happens to ask you. Somo staff, too. Walter F. Stanley. — Harry Knowlos manager of the Terminal Hotel, Fort Worth, sends Ills kindest regards to you and your family. Walter F. is now numbered among those present In Texerkauu, who are waiting the opening of the Con T. Kennedy Shows, which takes place la that city, Monday, March 80. v, j, Jakd Davib. —A party In Fort Worth told Red Onion about the trouble you had about locating your silk shirts. That party was Harry Knowlcs. Ho sends his host regards to Don C. Stevenson, H. 11. Danville and the test of tho -Southern Amusement Company. Jambs M. Hathaway is reported to be doing well in tho Feature Film business, In tho extreme West, Note: Xne extreme West Is a very largo place. "Hoavi.no aut" Tennby is still roaming through Texas with his "Nutless" Carnival. "Ron,vlng Art" can not even toe tied, let nionc beat. Ho plays one, two, three, four, Ave and six day stands, and sometimes two weeks, lie says it depends entirely upon local conditions how long ho stays In a place. To all lu tho carnival business: When you are celebrating tho close of tho season 1014 It would be something to your credit to say, "well we stayed the entire season." If you stop to figure It out you will find that you ltavo all that money you would havo spent in railroad fares Jumping from one carnival to another. You will also nave added some- thing to your reputation for being a sticker. And to have the reputation of being a sticker Is worth a lot to you. Wo kept our contract, didn't wo, Percy? P. 3. Everett, manager of Johnny J, He isno's Jungleland, nit show, spent the Winter In Dallas, Tex,, and put In his time as assist- ant manager of the Queen Theatre, one of the finest moving picture theatres In tho: city. P. J. Is due in Paola. Kan., shortly to get his attraction ready for the opening of the season. Barnby It. Parker has informed J. George Loos that It. It. does not stand for bank roll. Please accept this ns final from Harney K. regarding this much agitated question. Johnny J. Bejano said Hint he was on the lot of one of those "near carnivals" re- cently, and heard a concessionaire ask tho price of con cessions, and the "near manager" said to the eoncensloiinlre "how much money have you got?" to which tho conrwdnna're replied "I guess that I had better ride out the other half of my round trip ticket." He Percy Court will have a laughing show with Con T. Kennedy, which Is now being built by Artie E. Wills, tho originator of this kind of attraction, Artie E. Wills Is duo in Wheeling. W. Va., shortly to Join the J. W. natnpton Great Empire Shows with his "Laughland." Artie E. has been all Winter with the J. George lyoos Exposition Company. Lots of them will answer the call and be at the opening If they can make the grade. Managers will be getting telegrams like this for the next few weeks: "Have everything ready to Join, but will require transporta- tion for my show and company." That shouldn't be. About the middle of the Rea- son some of the booking agents will receive o wire like this: "Can play fairs as con- tracted, provided money Is advanced to move train." That shouldn't be, cither. Dick Collinb Is still press agent for the Al. F. Gorman Greater Shows. Dick Is a real press agent, too. Dick soys he shall do exactly as the boss says. And be always docs. John McDonouoii is still special agent for the Al. F. Gorman Greater Shows. A mono those seen in Fort Worth recently were: Harry La Braque, George C. Johnson, E. E. Horwltz, MUt S. Mooney, L. C. Beck- Wlth, Manuel, Al. F. Gorman, Guy C. Dodson, Dick Collins. O. K. Smith, George Tshljan and Joe Edwards. Johnny J. Jones Is going to make all of the rest of the managers in the business take notice of him this season. It looks now ns if the National Hotel, of Leavenworth, Kan., Is going to be put on wheels this season In the form of a buffet car. Havo you been reading TnB New York Clipper's new departments, namely, "Wheels and Rings" mid "Sharps and Flats?" Have you noticed how much real butdoor amuse- ment news The New York Clipper now lias each week, and its real news? Chiquita, the small lady, lias not been heard from for some time. Wonder where she Is? When Frank L. Albert managed her for Frank C. Bostock you always knew where she wns, and the public always welcomed her arrival. Charles M. Nioro is scheduled to play the part of General "No-Savy," the Mexican general, In Kaspcr-Palmcr & Nlgro's Mexican village. O. M. Hunt hss closed as talker on the Toddy horse show, with the Mlller-Lachman Shows, and Ib now In San Antonio waiting for the "Battle of Flowers" celebration. Carnival Committees —Why not put on your celebration under burlesque auspices such as "The Frozen Walrus," "Grave Diggers and Crutch Makers Union," "Gosh I>nmlhs," "Red Roosters," "Red Ties," "Hen Peeks," "Dead Boats," "Red Onions," "lilock Heads," "Town Simps," "Never Works," "Flirts," "Mashers,"' "Lizzies," "Bono Heads,' "Nuts," "Boobs," "Bugs," "Squnkers,' "fieon Eaters," "Croakers" and so on?

Doc Graham, the well known talker and. manager, will doubtless get back Into the carnival business after he finishes his tour in Florida, with feature moving picture turns. Doc was In Tampa not long ago. Ho has many friends who would like to sec Wm back in the vicinity of Kansas City. Ennta Parker, of Coney Island, New York, is not going to talk on carnivals this season, but is going with a circus.

Nearly all new tops, come nicely framed-up concessions, motor- drome, Parker carry-us-all and big Ell Fer- ris wheel make quite a showing. Al. F. is entitled to succeed.
